Climate variation largely impacts migration in with the capacity to worsen conflict and security situations in parts of Africa, Nigeria in particularly, already facing security threats from the activities of sedentary and nomadic pastoral farmer’s interaction. Increasing variations in rainfall patterns significantly impact the migration patterns of vulnerable households and constitute a risk factor to their livelihoods. For effective adaptation plan and sustainable livelihood decision that has climate resilient future, there is need for better understanding of the conflict and security implications of climate variation. This paper, therefore, interrogates the nexus between climate variation and migration, as well as the impact of this nexus on conflicts and security of lives and properties in Nigeria. Using critical analysis and qualitative methodology, the study establishes that migration settlement policies that fail to define the rights and duties of settlers and those of indigenes of any particular community, create loopholes for the reification of identities and identity-induced crisis. The conclusion of the paper is that migration issues resulting from climate variation have not been adequately addressed to involve all stakeholders. There is the need to harvest environmental impact assessment data of climate variation to guide the provision of alternative options to climate-related emergencies across Nigeria.

气候变化导致的尼日利亚移民，土地冲突和安全局势

气候变化极大地影响了移徙，并有能力使非洲部分地区，尤其是尼日利亚的冲突和安全局势恶化，久坐和游牧的牧民互动活动已经面临安全威胁。降雨模式变化的增加严重影响了脆弱家庭的迁移模式，并构成了其生计的风险因素。对于具有气候适应性未来的有效适应计划和可持续生计决定，需要更好地了解气候变化对冲突和安全的影响。因此，本文探讨了气候变化与移民之间的联系，以及这种联系对尼日利亚的冲突和生命财产安全的影响。该研究使用批判性分析和定性方法，建立了未能确定定居者和任何特定社区的土著居民的权利和义务的移民定居政策，为确认身份和由身份引发的危机创造了漏洞。本文的结论是，尚未充分解决气候变化引起的移民问题，使所有利益相关者都参与其中。有必要收集气候变化的环境影响评估数据，以指导为尼日利亚各地与气候相关的紧急情况提供替代选择。为身份认同和身份引发的危机创造漏洞。本文的结论是，尚未充分解决气候变化引起的移民问题，使所有利益相关者都参与其中。有必要收集气候变化的环境影响评估数据，以指导为尼日利亚各地与气候相关的紧急情况提供替代选择。为身份识别和身份引发的危机创造漏洞。该论文的结论是，尚未充分解决由气候变化引起的移民问题，使所有利益相关者都参与其中。有必要收集气候变化的环境影响评估数据，以指导为尼日利亚各地与气候相关的紧急情况提供替代选择。
